Lewinsky also addresses the recently released files of Hillary Clinton’s close friend, Diane Blair, in which the then-first lady reportedly called Lewinsky a “narcissistic loony toon.”
“If that’s the worst thing she said, I should be so lucky,” Lewinsky writes. “Mrs. Clinton, I read, had supposedly confided to Blair that, in part, she blamed herself for her husband’s affair (by being emotionally neglectful) and seemed to forgive him.”
Lewinsky adds, “Hillary Clinton wanted it on record that she was lashing out at her husband’s mistress. She may have faulted her husband for being inappropriate, but I find her impulse to blame the Woman—not only me, but herself—troubling.”
Lewinsky gained national attention in 1998 following news of her affair with Clinton while she was an intern in the White House. She writes, “Sure, my boss took advantage of me,” but adds that she considered it a consensual relationship.
“Any ‘abuse’ came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position,” Lewinsky writes.

Am I the only person right of center that couldn’t care less about the whole Lewinsky/Clinton scandal?
Was the choice of words intentional? She didn’t “cigar” Hillary?
@Bill Burris:
I would have said “Close, but no cigar”
Isn’t it ironic that Bill, famous for parsing even the word, ”is,” is considered quite positively in polls while Monica, who went along with him as far as she could until she just could not lie under oath, is looked down upon by so many?
There was nothing more telling than the looks (micro-expressions) on Bill’s face when he was confronted, for the first time, with the fact that his questioners knew all about the cigar.
See it at the 1:12 mark here:
@Nanny G: Well, Monica is solely responsible for luring poor Slick Willie into a world of temptation and sin. Otherwise, Bill, who has nothing but respect for all women, would have remained dog-loyal to Hillary, as he has since there wedding.
About 10 years ago, the top 3 year old at Calgary’s Stampede Park was, you guessed it, “Clinton’s Cigar”.
Guys who smoke cigars, eventually need a humidor. Ask any cigar aficionado and they will tell you about the benefits of keeping your cigar fresh. Bill doesn’t seem like a serious cigar man, he was probably just experimenting, like he did when he smoked ditch weed without inhaling. Perhaps this is the real reason why he didn’t inhale. I think we should lighten up on Slick, he obviously has standards he refuses to compromise. He might scrimp on humidors, but the guy realizes the health risk involved. He definitely has standards, they aren’t too high, but he does have standards.
@Bill Burris:
Yes, BTW
@Kraken: The reason for caring is the fact that a sitting President lied to a Grand Jury Investigation, America, and the liberal wachos saw nothing wrong!! Now Hillary has aspirations of being President while she left our men on the battle field to die!!
@Bill Burris: Tounge in cheek I hope!! Or something in cheek. I am guessing though that Democrats will balme Bush for the incident!!
Wait! Wasn’t it Huma who fingered Hillary? I’m confused now.
@Bill Burris:
You had the same thoughts I did. But I’m sure Bill got his experience somewhere.
@Nanny G: That is an excellent you tube on Slick Willie. Lying all the way. The Hero of the left.
@DaNang67: Huma, she is said to be one of them.
@Redteam: Huma.
She’s probably the reason the email Judicial Watch just got had been copied (originally) to some guy who headed the Muslim Brotherhood front group on one of our US campuses.
Why should HE get to see it the day it was sent when our Congress had to wait months!
